The XML Processing Model WG requests that the Director approve the
publication of the following document:
XProc: An XML Pipeline Language
as the First Public Working Draft of a Recommendation-track
specification. We propose to publish this document on 28 Sep 2006 with
a short name of "xproc" and an undated URI of
http://www.w3.org/TR/xproc/
The WG directed the chair to make this request at its telcon[1]
of 14 Sep 2006.
The abstract and status of this document read:
Abstract

performed on XML documents.
An XML Pipeline specifies a sequence of operations to be performed
on one or more XML documents, producing one or more XML documents
as output. Steps in the pipeline may read or write non-XML
resources as well. Status of this Document

This document was produced by the XML Processing Model Working
Group which is part of the XML Activity. Publication as a Working
Draft does not imply endorsement by the W3C Membership. This is a

This is a first public Working Draft, based on the previously

the design are complete, the Working Group has chosen early
publication in order to show the direction we are heading and to
encourage feedback from potential users.

This document was produced by a group operating under the 5
February 2004 W3C Patent Policy. W3C maintains a public list of any
